Music that Changes Your Taste in Music
M. Ward is clearly focused on his music...not the music business. He doesn't pander to popularity or the mass market, and the end result is extraordinary.

M. Ward's 'Hold Time'
M. Ward's Newest Release
Hold Time
Amazon Price: $13.99 (as of 12/28/2009)
List Price: $15.98
CD
Although he's been compared to everyone from John Fahey to Tom Waits to Howe Gelb, with "Hold Time", it's clear that M. Ward, with his brilliant guitar playing and innate sense of melody, is one of those rare and special talents who defy comparison and compartmentalization. His deft guitar picking, bar room piano, and voice like drizzled honey make him a huge favorite of music critics and the focus of public praise from such disparate talents as Norah Jones and Oasis' Noel Gallagher.
This album is also being released as an LP Record.
Release Date: 02/17/2009

Ward is a musical genius. This, his second album, is mostly acoustic. It is an amazing display of what he has in him. This music has the ability to transport you to a different place and perhaps a different time - though I can't quite place where or when. It is amazing!

Post-War
Post-War
Amazon Price: $13.99 (as of 12/28/2009)
The fifth M. Ward album and his most absorbing yet. Its songs unravel their world-wearied tales of life, love, and human kindness with an innate and special grace, helped in part by the very talented friends who join him on this record, such as Neko Case and Mike Mogis, as well as old "Monsters Of Folk" touring buddy Jim James (My Morning Jacket). Look for him on tour this fall.

Transistor Radio
Transistor Radio
Amazon Price: $13.99 (as of 12/28/2009)
From a half-named troubadour with an otherworldly voice and an old time sensibility comes this fourth full-length, a collection of songs "about childhood memories of a utopian radio power", dedicated to "the last of the remaining independent radio stations." With songs normally associated with the front porches of Louisiana, back when families gathered around the radio instead of the TV, "Transistor Radio" fits somewhere between your great-grandfather's collection of 78 rpm records and current and timeless artists such as Iron & Wine, Gram Parsons, and Tom Waits. Guests include Jim James (My Morning Jacket), Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley), Howe Gelb (Giant Sand), and Jordan Hudson (The Thermals).

Transfiguration of Vincent
Transfiguration of Vincent
Amazon Price: $13.99 (as of 12/28/2009)
Full of snappy, loping pop tunes interwoven with mellow instrumental passages, Transfiguration of Vincent shows Ward to be a terrific folk and blues guitarist, a perceptive, witty storyteller, and--in tossing piano, percussion, harmonica, and various other instruments into mixes that never feel the least bit cluttered--an imaginative arranger. He's also an expressive vocalist, whether in a winsome upper register that recalls Ben Harper or his sandy-throated midrange. There's not a weak moment on this dark-horse gem of a disc. --Anders Smith Lindall
